Not entirely transparent.  The HDMI, when connected, usually override
the sensor-determined screen orientation to force landscape - unless
the activity is specified as portrait in the manifest.  So sometimes
the developer does need to be aware of when HDMI is connected.  In our
case the presence of HDMI even made the difference between an activity
staying in memory and going through its full destroy-create life cycle
when it was covered up by another activity.  This exposed some bugs in
our code where we were not properly handling those transitions.  Of
course we needed to fix those bugs anyway.
